Psalms 37:32-40 ▼

32 The wicked spies upon the righteous And seeks to put him to death.

33 Yahweh will not forsake him in his hand; He will not condemn him when he is judged.

34 Hope for Yahweh and keep His way, And He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

36 Then he passed away, and behold, he was no more; I sought for him, but he could not be found.

37 Observe the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity.

38 But transgressors will be altogether destroyed; The posterity of the wicked will be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh; He is their strength in time of distress.

40 Yahweh helps them and protects them; He protects them from the wicked and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him.
